Properties of A Normal Distribution

1. The document discusses properties of the normal distribution, including that it is bell-shaped, symmetric, and asymptotic. 2. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to calculate the area under the normal distribution curve for given z-values using normal distribution tables. 3. Key areas that can be found are within 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations of the mean, and areas to the left or right of given z-values.

In this lesson
you
will learn to:
1. Construct a normal
curve.
A normal Distribution is a continuous, symmetric,
bell-shaped distribution of a variable.

Properties:
1. The distribution is bell-shaped
2. The mean, median, mode are equal and are located at the
center of the distribution
3. The distribution curve is symmetric about the mean
4. The normal curve is asymptotic (Never touches x – axis)
5. The total area under the part of normal dist. Curve is
1.00 or 100%
6. The area under the part of a normal curve that lies
within 1 standard deviation of the mean 68%, within 2
standard deviation, about 95%, and with 3 standard
deviation, about 99.7%/
Example #1
Determine the area under the standard normal
distribution curve between z = 0 and z = 1.85.

Z 0.00 0.01 … 0.05 …

0.0 0.0000 0.0040 … 0.0199 …

0.1 0.0398 0.0438 … 0.0596 …

0.2 0.0793 0.0832 … 0.0987 …

1.8 0.4641 0.4649 … 0.4678 …

Hence, the area


is 46.78%
Example #2
Determine the area under the standard normal
distribution curve between z = 0 and z = -1.15.

The area between z = 0 or P(-1.15< z < 0) is


0.3749. Therefore, the area is 0.3749 or 37.49%
Example #3
Find the area under the standard normal distribution
curve to the right of z = 1.15.

The required are is the right tail of the normal curve. Since the
standard Normal Distribution Table gives the area between z = 0
and z = 1.15, first find that area.
P(0< z <1.15) = 0.3749 from .5000, since half of the area under the
curve is to the right of z
Example #3
Find the area under the standard normal distribution
curve to the right of z = 1.15.
The required are is the right tail of the normal curve. Since the
standard Normal Distribution Table gives the area between z = 0 and
z = 1.15, first find that area.

P(0< z <1.15) = 0.3749 from .5000, since half of the area under the curve
is to the right of z = 0.

P(z > 1.15) = 0.5000 – P(0 < z < 1.15)


= 0.5000 – 0.3749
= 0.1251
Hence, the area to the right of z = 1.15 is
12.51%
Example # 4
Find the area under the standard normal distribution
curve to the left of z = -1.85.

P(0 < z < 1.85) = 0.4678

P(z < -1.85) = 0.5000 – 0.4678


= 0.0322
Example # 4
Find the area under the standard normal distribution
curve to the left of z = -1.85.

P(0 < z < 1.85) = 0.4678

P(z < -1.85) = 0.5000 – 0.4678


= 0.0322
Example #5.
Determine the area under the standard normal
distribution curve between z = 0.75 and z = 1.85

P(0 < z < 1.85) = 0.4678


P(0 < z < 0.75) = 0.2734

P(0.75 < z < 1.85) 0.4678 – 0.2734


= 0.1944
The area is 19.44%
Example #6.
Find the area under the standard normal distribution
curve between z = 1.15 and z = -1.85

Draw the figure and represent the area as shown in


the figure.
P(-1.85 < z < 0) = 0.4678
P(0 < z < 1.15) = 0.3749

Now, since the two areas are on the opposite sides


of z = 0, we must find both areas and add them

0.4678 + 0.3749 = 0.8427


Hence, The area is
84.27%
Example #7.
Find the area under the standard
normal distribution curve to the
left of 1.15.
Example #7.
Find the area under the standard
normal distribution curve to the
left of 1.15.
P(0<z<1.15) = 0.3749
Since the Standard Normal Distribution
gives only the area between z = 0 and
z = 1.15, we must add 0.5000 to the
table area, since 0.5000 (one-half) of
the total area lies to the left of z = 0.
.5000 + 0.3749
= .8749
Challenge:
1. Find the area under the
standard normal distribution
curve to the right of z = 1.15
and to the left of z = -1.85.
